Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital. On the hospital medical record, it said I had Guillain-Barré syndrome. What is Guillain-Barré syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Guillain-Barré syndrome, also known as acute infectious polyneuritis or acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, has an unclear etiology, and most patients have a history of infectious diseases before the onset. The main manifestation is demyelinating lesions of peripheral nerves and nerve roots, which is an autoimmune peripheral neuropathy. Clinically, it presents with muscle weakness, sensory and motor dysfunction, and recurrent symmetrical flaccid paralysis of the limbs. High-protein foods are recommended.
